California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) sent a letter to members of Congress requesting nearly $40 billion in funding to rebuild communities after wildfires devastated the Pacific Palisades and Altadena neighborhoods of Los Angeles.
“It’s clear that recovery from these fires is beyond the capabilities of California alone and necessitates the support of the United States government,” the governor wrote in the letter addressed to House Speaker Mike Johnson, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, and Reps. Tom Cole (R-Okla.) and Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.).
“Make no mistake, Los Angeles will use this money wisely. California will ensure that funds will serve individuals, communities, property owners, and businesses that suffered losses from these devastating fires.”

Yeah, trust the boy Governor.
Don’t forget 10% for the Newscum.
I couldn't even type that with a straight face.
That money will be burned faster than the trees and structures in those wldfires.
Chuck you, Farley.
I live in Ca. and I say NOT ONE PENNY until we have voting that is counted in ONE DAY and NO sanctuary state otherwise SCREW THIS STATE!!!
I hear Trump is already looking into “where choo choo go”
Yeah, but I read it with a smile. :)
I forgot about the federally funded bullet train to nowhere CANCELLED!!!
Why is this dime store patrick bateman not in jail yet?
The train to nowhere has, IMO, been a staggering cash grab for the Democrats, the unions, and connected people. This project should have been shut down years ago, and the people grabbing the cash should be in prison already.
“Make no mistake, those tax dollars will be used wisely,” Newsom wrote.
<><>he wants an additional $16.8B from FEMA, for rebuilding property and infrastructure,
<><>another $5 billion from FEMA is earmarked for debris cleanup.
<><>$9.9B from HUD is for grants to fire victims, homeowners, businesses and renters,
<><>and $5.29B from the SBA is for homeowner and business loans.
Plus unspecified billions of setasides, earmarked for Newsom’s presidential campaign.
I am hoping a Trump Administration has the personnel to prosecute thousands of Democrat grifters. And I hope Newsom is high on the list.
Bump!
Well, I’m sorry, but we are broke.
Maybe you could try “Go Fund Me”?
Good lord he sounds like Zillinski
I get 36.99 billion. Yeah, trust Newsom with the rest of it.
Zeeper central might not be around much longer. I hope the same for Newsom’s career.
Get a loan. From Maine.
Who does Newscum think he is, Zelenski?
